“Mewat which is the most backward area of the State has reported the worst literacy rate of 54.08 per cent. 493 primary schools exist in the district but only 45 High Schools are there, approximately 80 per cent Muslim concentrated district has 352 sanctioned positions for Sanskrit, 116 for Hindi and 03 for Urdu.

“A report claims that out of 1,62,000 students registered in primary schools, 48,000 reached class 8 and only 12,000 passed class 10 in the year 2015.

“There is an urgent need to restructure the Mewat Education system on the lines of common school system (CSS) to ensure equitable and quality education to all.

“The common school system commission of Bihar defines CSS as “a system of education providing education of an equitable quality to all children irrespective of their caste, creed, community, language, gender, economic condition, social status and physical or mental ability”.

“The Government should take strenuous efforts to provide quality education to all. The first step should be making compulsory for all the VIP’s, Government employees to educate their children in Government schools,” they said in the event.
